You can pass your days in the dory, boys, You can go with the worst and the best, But don't ever sail with old Engleman, boys Each trip you go could well be your last. Oh, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys? Don't you remember Cape Ann? The crazy old drunk was a loser, boys, He never cared if we never made in. And it's, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys? Don't you remember Cape Ann? You'll never catch me on the trawl again, For it's surely no life for a dog or a man. Oh, don't you remember the Shoals, boys? Don't you remember the Shoals? And the Old Man asleep at the wheel, boys, By God, it was black and cold. Oh, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys? Don't you remember Cape Ann? You'll never catch me on the trawl again, For it's surely no life for a dog or a man. Well, the mate was the man with the gall, boys, He got the Old Man away from the wheel; And he took him below, and he locked up the hatch, And he threw all the booze o'er the rail. Oh, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys? Don't you remember Cape Ann? You'll never catch me on the trawl again, For it's surely no life for a dog or a man. You can pass your days in the dory, boys, You can go with the worst and the best, But don't ever sail with old Engleman, boys Each trip you go could well be your last. And it's, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys? Don't you remember Cape Ann? You'll never catch me on the trawl again, For it's surely no life for a dog or a man.
